This will depend on how large the system you require is and the access to your property, timescales can vary for an Air Source Heat Pump installation. Typically most installations are completed within 2 working days once a survey has been completed.
An Air Source Heat Pump needs to be located outside in the open air and sufficient space must be allowed around the unit (1000mm from front and sides, 300mm from back) so air can flow freely into it.
With world-leading innovation in fan and compressor design, modern Heat Pumps have a sound pressure level of 45dB at one meter which for reference is 1dB louder than the average library and quieter than the average dishwasher which sits at around 65dB and the average gas boiler which sits at around 60dB. Basically if its on outside, you can’t hear it inside!
Yes, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) launched in Spring 2022 to aid the decarbonisation of buildings. It provides upfront capital grants to support the installation of Heat Pumps, and in some circumstances biomass boilers, in homes and some non-domestic buildings. The BUS will be open to properties located in England and Wales. Homeowners can claim £7,500 from the government to help towards the cost of installation.
Yes! Air Source Heatpumps can easily heat your home whilst maintaining a full domestic hot water tank, making the systems a very like-for-like swap with your current gas boiler.
Air source heat pumps are four times more efficient than gas boilers, emit 75% less carbon and are much more environmentally friendly. Switching to a heat pump will help you save on your energy bills. If you don't have any other gas appliances in your home, you pay another gas bill ever again.
Heat pumps create 75% of their energy from free outside air, so have a lower running cost than traditional heating solutions.

If you don't have any other gas appliances in your home, you'll never have to pay another energy bill again.
There are a number of reasons why an air to water heat pump is a worthwhile investment:
Yes! An ASHP can add up t0 £8,000 onto the value of your property.
